Mary Ann Takes a Ride

       Today was yet another fantastic day for Mary Ann. Mary flew in from Kentucky yesterday evening, so Barb, Mary, Lauren, Ally, and Ryan visited Mary Ann around noon today. During that time, she had a short physical therapy session that we were able to watch.

       Mary Ann was able to keep her balance on the foam balance board while playing a game for a good fifteen minutes. At the same time, the physical therapist was challenging her by moving her around, testing her balance. Mary Ann only had to grab the walker once! We were so proud of the progress she has made during therapy. She is really coming along; we are so encouraged by her enthusiasm.

       Also today, Ned, Jean, Jacob, and Norah were able to take Mary Ann out of the rehab center for about an hour and a half. They went to Jeramiah's and had delicious gelatis. After that, they drove around Winter Park. It was great for Mary Ann to get out of the facility and get some fresh air. She had a great time with them and is looking forward to come home.

       Once they got back to the rehab center, Lynda and Bill came to visit. They stayed for a little while and then went to Bill's birthday dinner with Jean and her kids.

       Ned has been doing well also. He has another eye doctor appointment tomorrow, so I will keep you informed of his progress. Happy 4th of July!! :)
